Much to the entertainment of the black-tie crowd which included Mr. and Mrs. Obama, famed musician Carlos Santana, and actress Shirley MacLaine, Snoop hit the stage in a custom-fitting tux himself performing U3’s “Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)” before transitioning into a special version of his own “Gin & Juice.”

The U3 record was made popular due to its Herbie Hancock sample “Cantaloupe Island,” hence the shrewd choice selection.

The “Dogg,” sometimes “Zilla,” is currently up of for a Grammy Award under his other alias of “Lion” for his reggae-tinged album, Reincarnated. It showed his versatility as an artist during a stage when most artist’s his age fan out in their careers and also released a series of noteworthy videos.
